Filtered town water

Town chickens, it is!

Town chickens, it is!

I'm swapping the water out now

It's looking like Mareks, I may need to do a clear out

Oh no!!!! im catching up here and ran across this. Hoping for good news by the time I make it to last post!

At the moment it took out a $700 trio of IxWorths, a $200 Light Sussex Pullet, and half of my bantams are showing the same signs

NO!!!

@BlackHackle Another lesson learned. I never considered this a problem.

 

[jwyles]

Absolutely. In fact, it is one of the things that can look like Mareks.

Nice @honanbm! What a wealth of info you are! I hope you're right here.

Oh no! Hoping swapping water saves your flock!

I cannot wait to see if these birds start improving from that simple fix. I'm seriously rooting for you over here @BlackHackle ! & what a great job you two did if ID'ing a potential problem and coming up with a solution. I just love it! Oh I lost my first hen today. I've never suffered a loss before. She had a prolapsed vent that became infected - it was not obvious through her fluffy butt- and I'm just infuriated with myself for not knowing she had this problem. I have bathing them in the agenda but it's a little too late for her. I'm over here living and learning so much through you guys but seriously kicking myself right now.

Sorry about your loss!
It’s true though, I’m not sure what state I would be in without these intelligent folks.

Unfortunately, lack of knowledge about diseases isn't just in chickens. Just look at how many people get a new puppy and think nothing of hauling it all over town to meet everyone and be everywhere, without getting its shots first - and then are shocked when Parvo happens.
